Meeting OF the Board OF Directors at
Lavgrenee-The Road turned over to
the new company.
From Saturdays Republican.
In conversation yesterday with
Major G. Hood, who has just returned
from a meeting Of the Board of Di-
rectors of the Lawrence, Emporia &
Southwestern Railroad, held at Law
renee on the 4th inst, he informed us
that the Carbondale line was form
ally turned over by the Union Pa
cific and that hereafter it will be Oper-
ated by the Lawrence, Emporia &
Southwestern Company. The road has
been operated for years by the Union
Pacific from Lawrence to the coal fields
near Carbonate. 1t is the intention
of the new company to at once build
into Carbondale, and, having a Kansas
City connection over the u. p, it viii
strike out for business on its own hook.
About twenty miles this side of Law
renee it connects with the K. N, 8 d.
Road. The new company has ordered
new rolling stock, Including nat and
box cars, passenger and combination
coaches, and, before a great while, it
viii commence the extension of the
road to this place, thence into
the Southwest. From a slug
gish and insignificant branch of
the q. p, it viii soon become an :nde.
pendent trunk line with its trains
rushing over the prairies, bearing its
share of the freight and travel in
strong competition with neighborina
lines that now have it all their owl
way. If competition is the life of bust
ness, it is to be hoped that all win b,
benefited by the new orde
of things soon to be in
augurated by this new move
ment in railroad circles IN tai
state. The Importance of this road a
an independent line into the southwes

Funeral OF Lewis Lewis.

The funeral of Mr.. Lewis Lewis took
place last Saturday. The services were
held at the Welsh Presbyterian church,
Market street, conducted by the Rev,
John Jones. A portion of the scrip
lures were read by Rev. E.W. Richards
and prayer offered by Rev. VIM. Lewis,
after which that well-known and beau
tiful hymn was sung, most impressive
~ by the congregation:
"Abide with me; fast falls the eventide;
The darkness deepens; Lord with me abide.
When other helpers fail and comforts fee.
Help OF the helpless, Lord abide with me.
Special mention was made of the
well known peaceful and quiet dispo-
sition of the deceased, making friends
of all and enemiesof none was character
istic of him. Prayers were also offered
for the recovery of his son Edward,
who is confined to his room with the
same disease of which his father died.
The altar was decorated with ever
green's and flowers, conspicuous amo g
which was the word worked with ever
green's, "Gorphwyso." Rest.
The church was crowed to its utmost
capacity, which was strong testimony
of the respect and esteem in which Mr..
Lewis was held by his acquaintance,
and which also testified that great
man had fallen in Israel.
After the services the funeral cor
tege left for Lower Dry Creek cemetery
followed by large concourse Of people
and the remains laid to rest in the fam.
lily vault. The Revs. Rees and Evans
also took part in the ceremonies.

not large, the shipments from New
York for five weeks being per cent.
below those of last year with o per
cent. increase in imports.
The heavy imports in iron for June,
81 ,627 tons pig, 81, 133 scraps, and 81, )
665 manufactured, cause a less conf
dent tone. Rates are offered to winter
delivery by some makers at $3.50.
Wool is also offered lower by some
holders, and the wooden goods market
shows no great activity. Print cloths
are lower, but other cottons are firmly
held. In brief. great speculations
have unpleasantly blocked the wheels
of trade in many branches, and alb
soFbed or locked up vast sums of
money which viii be wanted during the
fall; but for their pernicious influence
the outlook would be far more encour-
aging.
The business failures during the last
seven days number: For the United
States, 1853; for Canada, 20; total, 1888;
compared with 1874 last week, and 154
the corresponding week last year.

bates For Knnsas veserans.

TOPEKA, Aug. 5.-The Transports
ton Committee of the G. A. r. held a
session in this city Monday and sent a
long telegram to j. N. Abbott, Chi
cago, Chairman of the Western States
Passenger Agents Association, re-
counting the reasons why cent rate
should be given to st. Louis for the
national encampment. The commit
tee urged the great reduction of CROPS
in this state, as well as the need of Of
fering special rates that would create
an enthusiasm that would draw out an
immense attendance.
This afternoon s. G. Mcdowell, Sec
rotary Of the committee, received an
answer to the telegram sent Abbott by
request for a ] cent rate Is refused and
the one fare for the round trip repeated
Mr.. Abbott suggests that this rate will
call out "a goOdly number" from Kan
SaS.
It has been learned from another
source that when the Richter telegram
was considered by the association yes
terday that all the roads running into
st. Louis were IN favor of acceding to
the request Of l cent rate, but
the preliminary contract governing this
e~ooONAeAS4OA AC4AAACO q NODC
to change or make rates, and all the
roads that could not possibly Sc
cure any of this patronage except
for short distances to connecting
points, voted against the rates, which,
OF course, defeated it. There are
hopes, however, that this rate
will yet be secured, as "the
Rock Island being under no con-
tract with any road or association,
is liable to give the desired reduction.
If Mr.. Sebastian makes a cent rate to
Kansas City, the flood gate is raised,
and the other roads in this state will be
forced through. More than this, the
Missouri Pacific and the Frisco would
extend this rate to st. Louis or lose
their share of the business, as the
Knight Templars had a rate of $40
from Wichita and other points to st.
Louis and return. 1t does not seem
possible that the soldiers will be
charged S14 from the same points. It
can be predicted now that the Rock
Island, which has already won
public favor by its liberal terms, will
give l cent rate as far as Kansas

The Flour OutDut,

MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, Aug. 4.-The
Northwestern Miller says: 1.-The mills
last week made one Of the heaviest
runs in long time. The total -four
output was 155, 44O barrels, aginst 1884,
$50 barrels the previous week, and 1885,,
800 barrels the corresponding week in
1885, an average of nearly $4,000 bar
rels daily, the largest production at any
time during the current year. Eigh-
teen mills are now in operation, and
after tomorrow the number will be
nineteen. The weeks figures will
doubtless reach $50 900 barrels. The
starting up of several water power saw
mills is drawing down the water in the
canal so that some mills have felt it ap-
preciably. From now on low water is
expected to bother them good deal.
Less flour is being sold than a week
ago, and lower wheat values have a
weakening tendency on the -four"

rha HTormon Preaidnnev

SALT LAKE, Utah, Aug. 6.-The
question of successorship to the presi-
dency of the Mormon church has been
settled temporarily by the appearance
of an address signed by MILFORD Wood
ruff, president of the apostles. He
says: "As upon two former occasions
in our history the duty and RESPONSE
bility of presiding over and directing
the affairs of the church of Jesus
Christ in all the world devolves upon
the twelve apostle. With the blessings
of the Lord and the faith and prayers
of his people we hope to do our duty
until we too shall be laid to rest. !"
Woodruff is in regular line of success
sion and his address assuming control
would indicate there Is no departure
from the orders. Woodruff is SO years
old and a man of mediocre ability. He
has been in hiding two years and is
still out of sight to all save the faith
full. His presidency will not be as rig
orous or popular as would have been
Cannon'S or Smiths.

GALVESTON. Aug. 5 The defeat Of
prohibition in Texas has been a signal
and decisive one. The large German
element which is usually republican,
went almost solidly against the prohibit
ton, as did at least two-thirds of the
colored voted, and thus good major
ity of the Republicans, under the lead
ership of DIR. Cochran, the republican
nominee for Governor in 1886, and
other leaders of that faith, voted
against the amendment while a res
pectable minority of democrats follow
ed such leaders of their party as Sem
ator Reagan, ex-senator Maxey, Con-
gresham Culbertson, Hare and Ian
same and others unto the fold. The
returns so far as received, show mai
ority against prohibition of 10000, with
eighty counties to hear from. Hon. Geo.
Clark, the chairman of the anti pro-
bition state executive committee esti-
mates that when the complete returns
are in, they will show that the amend
ment has been defeated by 100, 600 ma
iority.

A Masonic Event.

Ellsworth, Kas., Aug. 4.-One of
the most successful and imposing
events in the history of Ellsworth was
the lying of the corner stone of the
New Masonic Temple in this place to-
day. Fully 1000 people took part in
the ceremonies. Deputy Grand Mas
ter o. A. Bassett, by his intelligent
and capable supervision, won golden
opinions from all, and contributed ma
terially to the success of the occasion.
This Temple will be a beautiful and
substantial structure, built entirely of
Manhattan stone, and most admirably
adpted to the needs of the craft. Sew
eral other business building are under
progress of construction in the grow
ing and enterprising city. A fine rain
is falling here now.

Heading or the Boomers.

ARKANSAS CITY, Aug. 5.-Compan-
les E, Captain Price, D, Captain
Thomas, and II, Captain Schuyler, of
General Miles old Fifth United States
Cavalry, under command of Major Up
ham, with the regimental band and
headquarters, just from Fit. Riley, are
encamped on the outskirts of this city
for the purpose of crossing into the
Indian Territory and joining the several
companies stationed there to head off
the Oklahoma boomers, now gathering
at Geuda Springs, small town six
miles northwest of this city. The
boomers have been issuing a paper in
their cause there and announced their
intention to march on the 18th inst,
and take possession of that coveted
country known as Oklahoma, in the
Indian Territory. No serious trouble
is apprehended, as the boomers are not
yet thoroughly organized.

SerionaIv Damaged

Usage CITY, Kas., Aug. 5.-A heavy
rain passed over this county Thursday
all day and night. 1t has been more
than year since so much rain has
fallen in this locality in the same
length of time. The corn had already
been seriously damaged. much of it
fatally. The pastures were dried up
and stock suffering for water.
The rainfall of the thirty-six hours will
help things. Much of earlier planted
corn will take a fresh start and the
outlook for crops has been greatly i'm
proved. The pastures will revive and
farmers will not be obliged, at least for
the present, to rush their csttle upon
an already crowded and demoralized
market. This is one of the Oldest and
best corn producing counties in the
state. AT the present time few coun-
ties have better prospect and the
yield will not average to exceed thirty
per cent. of the usual crop. The state
ment of the corn crop of the state sent
out to the Associated Press few days
ago from Abilene is regarded here as
somewhat of an eXaperatiOn.
